Re: Alternatives??? Have you ever tried leak tests etc. with Safety.net and what not? I heard it fails a bunch of them. I never bothered with testing that much out since the computer I tried safety.net (v3.61 free) on was behind a router with NAT. However, what problems I did encounter was the fact that it didn't remember trusted application settings as well as specific rules when encountering user accounts over time. More or less, even though kaspersky and internet explorer were trusted applications, they mysteriously quit working and was blocked by Saftey.net unless you delete them from the list and add them in again. The same thing happens for individual rules for a user account except it gets more complciated; you have to delete the account and remake it. There may be no problems if you only have one user however.
It did have very low resource usage and the parental filter based on ratings was fairly decent overall I suppose but nothing special. While free, I really can't recommend Saftey.net to anyone based on my trials. As for a free solution, I did have a fairly good experience with Sygate but after trialing several firewalls, I settled on outpost pro for the paid one to get. |
